Lifted from Duoi Ampilan
Mount Matutum
The most prominent landmark in South Cotabato is the majestic Mt Matutum, a symmetrical volcano rising to 2,293 meters (other literatures said 2,286m).
It is located in Tupi, South Cotabato in the island of Mindanao. Its last recorded eruption was in 1911.
There is a pineapple plantation surrounding the volcano giving a more panoramic scene. Philippines is the 3rd biggest producers of pineapples - thanks to the biggest companies such as the Dole and the Del Monte, which established canneries and plantations in the Philippines.
You can actually see from a distance the mountain even from Maguindanao, Davao del Sur, Sarangani, Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat provinces but the best views are along the roads in Tupi and Polomolok.
